Have you ever wondered whether changing the way you run could help you move more efficiently and become a better runner? Running technique plays an important role in how we move, distribute impact and respond to the physical demands of running.
In this episode of The Runner’s Sole Podcast, podiatrist and runner Dr Sharon Miller welcomes Albert Lu, a Nutrition and Movement Coach, gym owner and running technique specialist. Albert is also a lead instructor for Pose Method seminars and has taught running technique courses at Army posts across the United States.
Together, Sharon and Albert explore the principles behind the Pose Method, the biomechanics of running and how greater movement awareness may help runners improve their technique. They also discuss common running form mistakes, the process of learning new movement patterns and why every runner needs an approach that suits their individual body.
From beginners to experienced runners, this conversation explores how technique, strength, nutrition and recovery can work together to support a more sustainable running journey.
